A few months ago, I'd bought some frozen brussels sprouts (supposedly healthful veggies). Didn't seem too tasty in the first two recipes I tried—slightly bitter. I then tried making a 2-egg omelet with loads of cheese, some diced chiles, salsa, cumin, and cooked sprouts. Read the entire article and comment there, please.

PC Cookies
Personal Computer? Politically Correct? Printed Circuit? Peanut Cluster? Nah! I wanted to think of a way to recall main ingredients for this cookie recipe. Sooo, using a recognizable pair of letters would help—pecan coconut. Read the entire article at http://whilldtkwriter.blogspot.com/2013/05/pc-cookies.html and comment there, please.

Square Mini and Whoopie Muffin Experiment

This article describes my experiment of using cake mix for making muffins in a whoopie pan and a silicone pan that has square wells. If Elaine had whoopie pans, she might have been able to bake only muffin tops instead of whole muffins that she couldn't get rid of the stems.

Tubular Waffle Grid Wafers 2
This recipe is a followup to the one I published in August, when I used test tubes for helping shape the wafers. (I wanted to use my waffle cone appliance to make shapes besides waffle cones.) This time, I used a 3 x 8 grid text tube rack for holding the shapes.
The rack is open air, better for air circulation and avoiding trapping steam than the set of test tubes I used previously. Also, the 24 vertical cavities means I can stand up a lot more tubular wafers.

Tubular Waffle Grid Wafers
These tubes are soft rollups that you can spread frosting or other sweet filling in. The softness comes from rolling up baked waffle-cone wafers and dropping them into cylinders that are narrow enough for steam to stay in. For my recipe, I used color-coded 1-inch diameter test tubes.

Lemon Poppyseed Mini-cupcakes
My recipe calls for following the instructions for boxed lemon cake mix and adding two tablespoons of poppy seeds. Box mixes usually omit information about mini-cupcakes, which are about 1/3 the volume of regular cupcakes (2 1/2 x 1 1/4). The mini-cupcake size is 1 3/4 x 1. This article includes also includes mini-cupcake baking times, yields, and paper liner vs. oil vs. oil/flour methods.

Cake Mix Macaroon Cookies

How about a macaroon cooky that tastes a lot better than a gluey coconut clump? How about a cooky that chews like a softish cooky and has dominant coconut texture and flavor? Use a cake mix for the dry-ingredient base.

Make the cookies with a basic recipe using cake mix, eggs, and oil. I timed this article for making red, heart-shaped cookies for Valentine's Day.
